for watching the hawks. the wire. was. fire. were i. were the e. french president moves to appease a nation in revolt promising tax cuts an increase in the minimum wage put people remain unconvinced. are mostly useless listen to the.

israeli troops wave the palestinian news outlet in the west bank allegedly firing tear gas and seizing c.c.t.v. footage we speak directly agencies induced to see. the british prime minister's meeting with a string of european leaders heading for reassurance is on the irish border the message from europe is clear. renegotiation. from moscow with me kevin owen first in the headlines tonight in more detail than after four weekends of nationwide. president made a dramatic statement monday night attempting to appease the yellow vest protest movement in his first public address since the un wrest the money to some of the protesters demands including tax concessions and a minimum wage rise is

a correspondent reporting from paris. hundreds if not to more than a thousand students have turned out for this protest today not happy yet again thanks to the admission process is due to change here in france they say that that would become discriminatory from students from poorer backgrounds this protest comes just hours after president michel gave a speech to the nation last night outlining his proposals trying to aim of the protests we've seen accounts and particularly the protests by the yellow rice would you be violent to the last summer weekends and this is what the president had to say to the nation. because of this crisis i want to reconcile with you salaries will increase by one hundred euros in twenty nineteen at no extra cost to employers over time will not be taxed and i will ask all employers to pay an end of year by onerous this will not be taxed and there will be no social payments for pensioners

receiving less than two thousand euros the tax increase will be cancelled as we had planned the total cost of all the measures is likely to be between eight billion and ten billion euros we are in the process of fine tuning to see how to finance it i've been speaking to many of the protesters are they snorts today and they say there are unhappy that macro speech didn't really touch on the things that they have been protesting about who don't last year or so he talks about education reform but they say wasn't enough because he didn't offer anything to them and when i asked him about what we know for two the yellow best reasons this idea of increasing the minimum wage giving people earning the minimum wage a hundred years plus a month for giving concession was chipping and she was they said it's not enough it's not good enough i need to do tonight this is what some people have been telling us it was because you were going to city school system you could walk

across words are mostly useless namely the proposal to raise the minimum wage by. one hundred euros but he did not specify that it would be one hundred gross so it's not that big a deal it's just crumbs this is nothing in relation to the rage of the people who simply does not care for your. security today only prioritised students have access to universities often across reforms much more scandalous is that young people have been mobilizing for two weeks and there was no sign that mccrone had accepted any of our demands mccrum has not listened to the young and the youth is here today to be good to mobilize because in the cities would settle this like it almost and there have been college student protests for two and a half months and there's been nothing in the media nothing at all we see the yellow vests are violent they break things they burn cars and we're peaceful which is why i didn't create a buzz so that's the reaction of some people on the streets shame paris he still seems to be a huge emerging intention towards the president many people saying what he had also

dos night was too little too late but what about the mexican reaction this is what's been happening so far. i believe that brown five of the revolution in our country next saturday will be a great moment of mobilization but of course i think it's up to those who are in the protest movement. mccrone has become dangerous for france under the guise of measures he chooses not to change his policy and continues to rule against the people if a man your micron is so sure of himself he should have the courage to have his measures backed by referendum so far it seems there should be all its own chauffeured by president mccord isn't enough to quell the disquiet. am i here in france many people still cooling phase resignation saying what do you all think last night was too little too late and he needs to offer more and for the moment it looks like the process is set to continue with his usual set to have another

protest on saturday this weekend which will make it the fifth weekend in a row show that even steve. paris the soffit was only six weeks ago the one man called on protesters to take up the yellow vest as a symbol in the video went viral so quickly receiving millions of views. well through such an issue. we all have these yellow vests for the whole week starting from the seventeenth of november put on your yellow vest to show that you are with us without. us while we call them spoke to them i just saw he told us he's still not satisfied with my crohn's proposed solutions. so let's assume that these measures will affect only a small part of the population not all of the people will benefit from what restaurant announced not all of the people are paid minimum wage there are people with a slightly higher wattage he targeted a small majority unfortunately this is not the whole population and these measures are really small it's he could do

a lot more he should have reduced the salaries of the rich because they have disproportionate salaries. these are rich who anyways benefits this is not fast the poor pay more debts and the rich with zero taxes this is disproportionate this is the beginning of chaos we should for measures to resolve it we are on the streets in the wind in the cold not for a pleasure. for the french of come because they could not stand it this is lasted for years not only mark wrong although here force did nothing to save the situation so people are on the streets not giving it up because they are determined. french political. believes that macross latest economic one overing isn't quite what it seems. many in my cong say yesterday that he didn't want to do to make the rich oh so exist anyway we are afraid ferns because apparently doesn't want to make the rich pay more you say that you want it to to improve between creases look

less people salary. about one hundred rule but so at the beginning that that announcement was very grateful as a look that's people but just at least did their work then they ne that wondered whether it was plain. economic you know so people are not so upset because many in mccall light to them again and yes definitively lowest murder rates use of population. israeli defense forces have raided the office of the palestinian news agency wafa in the west bank according to the agency soldiers fired tear gas and see c.c.t.v. footage while searching the building.

journalist. number one in a. well check these pictures are now released by the rated news agency some people saying praying there while israeli soldiers search the building israel gave no reason for the raid it's believed the actions connected maybe to the i.d.f. search for the perpetrator of an attack on sunday which left seven israelis wounded in that raid prompted clashes between the i.d.f. and palestinians in the area palestinian red crescent reports that dozens were wounded including two people struck by live ammunition we have asked the i.d.f. to comment tonight on the right to get a response from them earlier we spoke to a journalist from the agency who was there at the time of the raid described exactly what happened as he saw it. the army entered the northern part of from one

. in the and in the morning actually and they were searching buildings along the way sort of saw us looking and taking pictures because we are a news agency we have the gentlest ear and so they decided to come up also to our building i was there myself and i did live through that ordeal i do you guys was in the building where we work and it was really difficult to stay inside. one point even as you were taking some pictures from the balcony of the our floor they fired stun grenades at us which exploded in the balcony and then they looked for footage of the security cameras that were in the building of the streets and they took. tapes recording recordings of these security cameras they could have asked. us that they want to put it could have done that and the

footage would have been delivered to them i think not in a problem there was no need at all for what happened there was no need to enter the building and to take them by force they used intimidation and force and and scared the jitters there and forced them to open the doors and enter the rooms where the servers were and took the footage without any. approval from from that from the administration of the wall of. fear is a day for treason a station bought some a diplomatic whirlwind two to meet european leaders in a bid to secure assurances on a brick c. deal comes a day after she infuriated m.p.'s bacco for supporting a crucial vote at the eleventh hour theresa may kicks off a european dash than in the hague where she met her dutch counterpart mark router the visit was however a brief one just hours later when the prime minister was leaving for yet another round the vote this time with chancellor angela merkel in berlin. got off to

a bit of a shaky start from the sidelines of all this could open the door or to lock i guess since the problem this is car door got start required a bit of effort from server assistants to finally trigger a treat it may finally pop that she appears to have left berlin empty handed chancellor merkel is said to have rejected the idea really go see it in the terms of rexx it the british premier is now in brussels where she set to meet with the president of the european council donald tusk among other top e.u. officials as well all that's going on back home any time the british leader snatched away of course m.p.'s chances to vote on her ear withdrawal plan the last minute trees in may was jeered and booed in parliament last night or yesterday afternoon rather than the vote and m.p.'s across the house didn't mince their words about what they thought about it. doest this house wants to deliver bricks it.

if she doesn't take on board the fundamental changes required then she must make way for those who can bammers across this house don't want your deal does she not realize how chaotic and articulate this makes you know. this isn't a government in control failing again. isn't her time wasting to like simply reckless what has been the portable payment on certainty of the last two years what the heck is going more oh i. for eight is it true but not a prime minister is better than a bad prime minister yet it's two and a half years since britain voted to leave the european. but the prospect of staying in that club is higher than ever how did it get to this. it had to be rather straightforward the country had painted it this is an historic moment from which there can be no turning back and brussels almost paying.

off grid. but it. can be concluded quickly bendish the negotiations began and chugged away for a year until they hit a couple of major stumbling blocks the thorny issue of the irish border as well as future trade brought out bluster from one side just to train work for corporations . and provide a from the other let nobody be in any doubt that as i've always said we are preparing for no deal ministers left may side and the e.u. faced with anti european movements across the continent wasn't just going. to roll over so when the deal between london and brussels was finally struck last month john hume made it clear in this one you. change

your monthly. fees you switched back home to reason may's deal only united politicians of all stripes against it the message from many including the hard bags it is in her own party is that she can't improve a rotten deal which although not exactly in those words also happens to be the message from brussels i have decided to call european council meeting on thursday we will not renegotiate the deal including the backstop but we are ready to discuss how to facilitate u.k. ratification as time is running out we will also discuss a preparedness for a no deal scenario so instead of surviving a historic parliamentary vote to raise a maze had to ensure a historic humiliation and by failing to reschedule the date of the vote she has been accused of running away from democracy and this is the u.k. moves ever closer to the twenty ninth of march the official date of britain's

departure from the e.u. that means that m.p.'s are going to be under even more pressure to approve what perhaps they consider to be a bad deal just to avoid a disastrous no deal sonari that if to resume a survives as leader and doesn't get ousted by either her own party or through a vote of no confidence which incensed opposition parties say they're now planning that could force a general election and considering the current state of disarray a party promising a second referendum to potentially reverse brags it could win popular support. new annex a group of british activists have been convicted for a stunt at london's stansted airport in which they blocked an aircraft from taking off which was carrying failed immigration for deportation it's been a controversial story this in a sense the charges are considered terrorism related the so-called stanstead

fifteen could technically face life imprisonment now. we were charged with endangering life but we took the actions at stansted to try to protect life today is a dark dark day for the right to protest in a nonviolent way. to. watch this next of that video shows the protesters in march last year lawing out on the ground tied to one another aim was to blockers some success of that chartered by the home office which was to take undocumented immigrants to nigeria to garner to sierra leone today bringing up to speed following a nine week trial the jury found the protesters guilty of intentionally disrupting flight service is an error dro this people praise themselves the flight crew airport personnel and police at serious risk of injury or even death due to the actions on the airfield this should be as worked with the police to build a strong case which reflected the criminality of the defendant's actions regardless

of the motivation was for the crown prosecution service says the question is did the protests it go too far or have they successfully highlighted maybe what they see as many main policy towards migrants when it is the scots that political commentator david violence and george barr there's a social justice campaign guys thanks pete on the line from belfast to london tonight david come to you first this has been described as a sledgehammer to crack a nut is total overreaction isn't it. well no i look upon this kevin as a it's a good news story here we have one bunch of lawbreakers quenching because another bunch of lawbreakers are being deported i'm not sure what the problem is here it's not a question of taking the sledgehammer to break and not as a question of in forcing the law something which this group of so-called activists is the intensified making their feelings known they'll say and they're worried about these guys they're being taken back ok they didn't legally get through into

britain they're being sent back home again with their worries when they get back home again they'll be badly treated even killed so yeah you can see why they're upset as there is a here. no i don't see why they're upset at all kind of i think the fact is kevin kevin the fact is that they set out to break the law of which they were fully aware in this country if you break the law you pay the consequences and they're whining because they're being made to pay the consequences just you know. what do you think about it. i mean i'm slightly wondering how much detail of the guy i'm debating with that she knows about this case but thirteen of the people. are still sorry david thirteen of the people on that flight are still in this country and a number of already been given indefinite right to remain we have a crazy system in this country where a so-called hostile environment was intentionally created by the previous home secretary theresa may who is now the prime minister and part of that has been you know these barely legal flights that are clearly you know brutal and

uncompassionate and many of the people on them still have opened up here and the key thing to understand here this isn't just some sort of legal technicality that the process and come to an end nearly just under half of all the people who were pale against these decisions when their appeals and the government loses seventy five percent of its appeal against those dissident who will talk about the sort of the only point is that these people were these people acting to prevent people illegally being taken out of the country to horrible situations or i don't know what i would go about they do you know them don't injure any pows or play in the things are supposedly going on what do you think about many of these people. david saying that george is saying that you know they their cases have been properly heard it's not clear cut and they shouldn't be going back home and they've jumped the gun what do you think about that we'll talk at the end of this show is what is going to get to the people on that plane. well if i can if i can get a word in the in the first instance it's quite clear given the countries from which

they come from but if they were seeking asylum which of course they're not because they've been defined as on documented immigrants i.e. illegal immigrants are simply not a lot of the ira so it's a hell of a country if i can finish my point i'd like to finish my point place so so they these people are quite clearly and i'm sure george understands this they are illegal immigrants and i agree with george in one regard they wrote a disgrace that this country takes so long to remove these people who should not be in this country in the first instance so it's really black and white i haven't got in this instance the government has done the right thing by getting them out of our country georgia can do that david this is ok the story david has in his head is absolutely black and white the problem is it bears no relation to the reality that we're actually talking about where asylum seekers with open claims who have sense because of that i don't have knowledge of some of the people being given a right to stay oh they are asylum seekers so sure they are simply wrong. or no

last point quickly they they were going to be they were going to be charged with aggravated trespass which is the reasonable charge that one would expect in those circumstances these people like the people who brought us you know democracy women's rights civil rights and and weekends and everything else that we have you know they broke the law to highlight a moral wrong and the appropriate charge would have been something like aggravated trespass a georgia known scenario is armed with. simply to meet and some of the government has to get them out of the country therefore lots of folks maybe so maybe some of them maybe some of them but the problem is that this system is so shot through with racism and brutality in failure that there are many documented cases of this absolutely put aside these actions and you are ignoring the fact that what is happening also honestly proves that these people were right that these were illegal to import. nations these people have been allowed to stay because they sense this nonsense in the first place and the idea that these people injuring people or endangered anybody is just absurd you cannot agree with them if you like and resent

them holding up other people's protests as well into a. hole a three hundred fifty four the hole through a fence chained themselves to a seven six seven plane the authorities are saying that endangered life they should have done but not illegal there is kevin well it's a lie they're poor not to let their eyes hit in the middle of the night there was no other flights alarm i'm sorry they did or is in the dead of night if i can come in here can you imagine the complaints we would have heard the earth craft been allowed to take off with these people shackled to it they were indeed they were so stupid they were actually endangering their own lives never mind bringing chaos to the airport never mind because they were and dangerous that was our pilot clear in and out of the reach of our laws saying no i don't i do understand that i don't have problem understanding the laws of this country but george was part of our problem is what i'm going to tell you that is private property you can you don't suppose to exult break through the perimeter fence and go on to

a runway or. day out so you knew that they were breaking the law like all people who've taken director there we haven't been from here when all the victories that we have so what should happen to them because they've broken the law. they think they should have been arrested i was asked if i could be charged with aggravated trespass and then they have their day in court to make the case as to why they were acting to prevent further harm and the problem in this case is that the judge effectively prevented the jury from considering their motivation and so these people are being charged and i really all that was joint in today with terrorism and whatever your view of the what these people have done it was clearly not a terrorist act it was and i know you know many of these people are friends of mine and they are among the nicest most dedicated hauling let's say for you or me at her particular terrorism he was able to you think they wanted attention these people are deeply concerned about what is going to be a larger and larger problem going forward in coming days my horror seventy million refugees now george makes four hundred leads for your heart shouldn't be hard to argue like otherwise we're in big trouble i can have my say i'm allowed to speak

you all i care is that the freedom of the very man where these people are coming from below. these people said georgia just said it they knew they were breaking the law they knew that they were doing something which could put potentially lives at risk by shackling set themselves to no play even arrests burr their spacious nonsense don't try to interrupt me and play finished there were they were quite clearly a word of what they were doing annoyed they have been fined guilty george comes on to cry and whine about it here's a bit of advice george obey the law and there won't be any problems just like those who came here illegally and of no been rightly find to have been here illegally should also have obeyed the law and if they wanted the asylum that you said george there are many countries between their home nations and the united kingdom that they could have chosen they were illegal migrants the site the sort of people that

you in momentum are very keen on but the sort of people that the vast majority in the u.k. do not want in our country understand that our generals call italy earthquakes a crushing blow for human rights in the u.k. is that overstating it georgia and what does it say in future. if this is allowed to stand and certainly if a severe sentence is given and if it is if it's not successfully a pair of it would be an incredibly worrying precedent the fact that the david seems to ignore is a the fact that these people it has been proven since were not all. should not all of been tamed and deported because they've been allowed to stay sense and what i also think is incredibly important is that all the decent things that we have in this country did not come out of the generosity of power the reason the law has changed over and over to become a more moral and decent and democratic thing is because people have broken it in pace for principled ways in the past what i'm saying is not that these should

people no one mustn't demming are going to go home they broke lower and they knew it but they should have been charged with aggravated just by us which is what they did they cut through a fence that's not just us part. it's aggravated trust us and they were prepared to face the charges for that instead they were charged with anti terror charges and i repeat the fact they did not know where we start since the middle of the night there were no other flights at the time these people shouldn't be on the soviet let's run the sub we're going to start i'm going to go out of the question sledgehammer to the other side product service sledgehammer to crack a nut do you think just follow flow with you david you know terrorism too much of a charge. arguably so calvin i think you know i couldn't really care what they're charged off charged with so long ago to follow the consequences for you and on the thought be the case that might stop other such people breaking into airports shuttling themselves and and endangering human life so quite frankly regardless of how you want to call it the penalty that pay is the right one and you

know the only one of them i should even large order cheer is that george let me let me give you the final deal if you wish i said years ago if you shackle yourself to an airplane by very definition george i'm not sure what world you live on but if you shackle yourself. you are in danger in human life not least your rome georgia may be a final form and george. these people put themselves in a very difficult position and they suffered enormously because they care so much about some of the most vulnerable people on this planet and this is a particular important case because going forward we're looking at seventy million refugees at the moment being two hundred million by mid century and many of them are fleeing the climate and the military catastrophes that we have created we must uphold of duty to protect human rights especially that of refugees and we'll leave it on for george part of political is very subtle campaign a david vance political commentator on the lines respectively from the london belfast thank you guys for being on even though you can't see eye to eye on this one thanks penalty international. thank you haven't thank you i thank you for two
